Great place to stay. Would be back in the future.


There is a particular kind of welcome that belongs to small inns in mountain towns, the kind where the front door opens not onto a lobby but into something closer to a home. The Catskill Upstairs Suite at The Halbert Inn carries that feeling from the moment you arrive. Situated in the heart of the village of Catskill, this upper-level suite occupies a historic building that has been thoughtfully maintained, offering guests a self-contained retreat with the warmth and character of a well-loved residence rather than a conventional hotel room.
The suite itself is designed for comfort and ease. A spacious layout gives you room to settle in properly, with a full kitchen that invites you to shop locally and cook at your own pace, a living area for unwinding after a day spent exploring, and a bedroom that feels restful without being fussy. The furnishings lean toward a collected, lived-in aesthetic, mixing vintage pieces with practical comforts. Large windows bring in natural light and frame views of the surrounding village. It is the kind of space that rewards a longer stay, where mornings stretch out over coffee made in your own kitchen and evenings are spent reading or planning the next day's adventure.
The Halbert Inn's location in the village of Catskill places you within easy reach of the region's creative communities, hiking trails, farm stands, and the Hudson River waterfront. The area has long drawn artists, makers, and those seeking a slower rhythm, and the village itself reflects that spirit with its independent shops and gathering places. From here, the wider Catskill Mountains are accessible for more ambitious outings, whether that means waterfall hikes, seasonal markets, or simply driving the winding roads that thread through the surrounding landscape.
What stays with you after a visit to The Halbert Inn is the unhurried quality of the experience. There is no programmed itinerary, no concierge desk steering you toward curated moments. Instead, the suite offers something increasingly rare: the freedom to shape your days around your own instincts, in a space that feels genuinely comfortable and grounded in the character of its mountain village setting.

There's something quietly disarming about a place that doesn't try to be everything — it just commits fully to what it is. The Halbert Inn sits within Waco's Homestead Heritage Craft Village, and that proximity to working artisans and local culture gives the stay a texture you won't find in a standard boutique hotel. The suite itself leans into a sense of history without being precious about it; the soaking tub and king bed feel like genuine comforts rather than design statements. You sense the building has a past, and the rooms honor that while staying grounded in ease. It's the kind of place that suits someone who travels to feel connected to a community, not removed from one.

This was a rare and beautiful find! We will be staying here again! Probably one of the most comfortable stays away from home that we've ever had. The bed and the linens were phenomenal!

This home is gorgeous! Easy to find, comfortable beds, personal touches and lots to do on the grounds.

What's not to love? So many lovely touches from the personalized welcome banner, snacks, water, coffee, robe...all the amenities of a well-run AirBnb. The place was spotless and the bed was comfy. Check-in was easy with all access via the keypads. The space was super roomy and if I had more time I would have taken a soak in the lovely tub (yes, they even provided bath salts). It is located near Homestead Heritage where you can see local artisans' work; a walking path will take you to the many Homestead shops. On Saturdays (seasonal so check the schedule) they have artisans and food kiosks at the indoor barn. Right across from the inn is Waco Waffle and a cute coffee shop is next door. It's a s It's a short drive to downtown Waco where you can visit Magnolia, the Dr. Pepper Museum, and other shops and eateries. Our last evening we sat outside of the Inn and enjoyed the balmy weather in the rocking chairs. Recommend.
